THE PREDICTION
16-year-old Mirra Andreeva stunned Barbora Krejcikova in straight sets on Sunday to make another huge splash on her China Open debut. The 16-year-old will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of around 55th after beating Krejcikova for the second time this season, having done so en-route to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon in July, and she can emulate her remarkable burst onto the scene in Madrid earlier this season with one more win. Former world number 11 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova will face her compatriot for the first time here for a fascinating clash of generations. The world number 62 earned a bye to the second round of the China Open via the WTA’s new merit-based seeding system after an excellent run to the semi-finals of the Tokyo Open was ended in three tight sets by eventual champion Veronika Kudermetova on Saturday.
32-year-old Pavlyuchenkova is still getting back into the swing of a full tour life after rehabbing a knee injury last season and this quick turnaround should suit Andreeva’s cause. Back the younger Russian to earn at least a set as the likelier of two very capable victors.
